Here is the problem: 2 times 5 over 3 times 12 over 11.

2
00:00:05.117 --> 00:00:09.053
Exact arithmetic with fractions (results kept in lowest terms).

3
00:00:09.853 --> 00:00:13.243
Multiply numerators and multiply denominators.

4
00:00:13.693 --> 00:00:17.060
Multiply numerators and multiply denominators.

5
00:00:17.510 --> 00:00:22.142
Simplify. Divide numerator and denominator by their GCF, 3.

6
00:00:22.592 --> 00:00:24.763
Final answer in lowest terms.

7
00:00:25.563 --> 00:00:27.920
So the answer is 40 over 11.

8
00:00:28.370 --> 00:00:41.222
Fractions are combined over a common denominator for addition and subtraction, multiplied straight across, and divided by multiplying by the reciprocal. The result is reduced by the greatest common factor.

9
00:00:42.022 --> 00:00:48.907
Decimal check: 40 over 11 approximately 3.636363636.

10
00:00:49.357 --> 00:00:52.260
